1. A list of workshops, trainings and conferences you have presented to demonstrate training areas you are competent in
2. Verification for any training in which you have been approved as a trainer (Shaken Baby, Entry Level coursework)
3. Your charge card if you wish to pay online and any coupons you may have to help pay for your application

Once you have gathered the necessary documentation, you are ready to begin; it should take approximately one-half hour to complete. As you fill out the application, you will be asked if you want to save the information you have entered. By doing so, if you are unable to complete the entire application now, you may come back to it and complete it.

Educators must reapply every year in order to renew their contracts. Renewal instructions are emailed to Educators toward the end of each fiscal year. If you were unable to access the forms in the renewal email, there are links to the forms below. If you still have issues or questions regarding renewal, please contact Velma Gould at vgould@ou.edu.
